Quickly,
  we are running Pine 3.95 under Solaris.  Here is the scenario I would
like an answer on:
	/1/ While a user is composing a message, her time-limit is reached
and our system logs her out.  When she next logs in will she be able to:
(a) resume her interupted message, 
    or is her message
(b) lost forever?

> (a) resume her interupted message, 

	Most likely "a".  Howerver, I suggest you do the following since
not all systems react the same....

1.	Login to the system.

2.	Start composing a message with pine.

3.	Walk away from the terminal (or whatever) and have a cup of
	coffee and a danish.  (Wait until you get logged off....)

4.	Login to the system again.

5.	Try composing a message with pine.  

	Do you get a message saying you have a postponed message?

	Some people would call this a "diagnostic" others would call it
"testing".  I like to call it, TIY..."Try it Yourself".

	Regards,

		Ed

(a). That's what happens when my system hangs and I re-connect.
